An integrated masters is an undergraduate degree combining undergraduate and postgraduate study. The Master of Environmental Science (MEnv) takes an interdisciplinary approach to understanding, managing, and protecting the environment. You’ll explore conservation, ecology, ecosystems, environmental management, and renewable energy, while addressing global challenges like climate change, sustainability, and biodiversity loss. The MEnv also covers socio-economic, political, and ethical dimensions. You’ll gain scientific knowledge, technical skills in remote sensing and climate modelling, and transferable skills in communication, project management, and research. By the end of your degree, you'll be equipped to assess environmental issues and propose effective, science-based solutions.

Entry Requirements
